Career

Concrete mixing plant of Günter Papenburg's construction company

Günter Papenburg grew up in Wedemark near Hanover as the son of a small business owner. In 1963 he founded his first company as a haulage company. He quickly achieved a major expansion through the building materials trade. In 1977 he founded a road and civil engineering company. In 1984 he acquired a third of the Hanoverian Hanomag - but this participation ended in 1996.

He made a leap in expansion in the years of transition around 1990 through the takeover of various former VEBs . Through various acquisitions and start-ups, over time he became an entrepreneur with companies with different orientations. The range of companies, however, complements the core business of the construction company. His companies generate a turnover of around 600 million euros per year.

Günter Papenburg and his companies today offer services in the fields of raw and building materials, earthworks, civil engineering and road construction, building construction and civil engineering, waste disposal, recovery and recycling, forwarding services as well as construction machinery and systems. He also holds shares in landfills and waste incineration plants. Among other things, Papenburg's company is involved in the expansion of the Wunstorf air base, where the air base is being prepared for the Airbus A400M transport aircraft .

He is active as an investor in what is currently the largest housing project in Hanover, the Wasserstadt Limmer .

Günter Papenburg is a member of the supervisory board of the Marktkauf group. At the donation gala of the Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk on Sunday, June 9, 2013 in Leipzig , he donated 500,000 euros to the flood victims of the 2013 flood in the broadcasting area of ​​the MDR with the largest single donation . His branch in Halle (Saale) was affected by the flood itself.
